Computerworld has a nice collection of pics of some pretty wacky mice, like this one…at least I’m assuming this thing is a mouse:

This is genius and hilarious.

This is simple and artistic.

Kudos to these guys.

From the Gadgets.Infoniac blog today I learned of some cool toys running on hydrogen that will soon be marketed towards us regular geeks (as opposed to the hard core science geeks that may have already established themselves as masters of tapping into the technology).

Shown here is the ‘H-Racer’, the smallest and coolest hydrogen fuel cell car in the world and it fits in the palm of your hand. It operates on 100% clean fuel produced by a miniature solar powered hydrogen refueling station that converts water to hydrogen using energy captured by the sun.

Although simpler in design, this palm-size fuel cell car contains all the necessary technology to make it run.  It includes an on-board hydrogen storage tank, a fuel cell system connected to the car’s electric motor and a hydrogen refueling valve system that can connect the car’s storage tank to an external hydrogen refueling station.

Get your kit from Carl’s Electronics for just US$99.95 or get it from Amazon for a few cents less.

For only US$17 can you really pass up this T-Shirt from UnEETEE.com?

Technology Review interviews Peter Norvig, Google’s director of research. Here’s one interesting exchange:

Q: Which research has the most people and funding?

A: The two biggest projects are machine translation and the speech project…We wanted speech technology that could serve as an interface for phones and also index audio text.
